'Every game now a must-win for Delhi'

Delhi have lost all four of their games this season and coach Eric Simons understands that time is running out for his wards pretty quickly.

Languishing at the bottom of the table, Delhi need to start winning some games from now on. They face Bangalore in Bangalore tonight and that won't be an easy battle but Simons is clear about what he wants.

"Every game we go into now is going to be a must-win in some shape or form; we accept that," he told the press at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.

"We've got Bangalore, Chennai and Mumbai -- those are three tough games and we need to come away from them with two wins at least."

Delhi started off brilliantly last season before fading away but they have struggled this year. Without Virender Sehwag and Morne Morkel in their initial games, the unit looked very weak. Delhi were already dealt a big blow before the start of the season, when Kevin Pietersen was ruled out.

"Last year we started like a house on fire and then tapered off; hopefully it's the other way around this year," Simons said.

"If you take three important players out of any team -- we lost Kevin (Pietersen), and lost Viru (Sehwag) and Morne (Morkel) for the first two or three games -- it makes a massive difference," Simons said.
